About this business
TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

This was my first time to Dave's, I heard lots of good things and the food was very good. I'm not a huge fan of deep fried heavily breaded chicken, but even though it was a little thicker than I like, the taste was excellent in the chicken was juicy. It's super pricey but I guess that's just the way of the world now. I got a couple sliders and it was around $17, it's getting hard and hard to eat out anymore. Overall it was very good, but a little hyped up. Still I would return to try their other stuff on the menu. Thanks Dav... read more

This location has great service and the uniform/military discount is phenomenal at 50% off with valid ID. The seating area is good for 2-5 people. Larger groups would fit better outside. The food is hot and fresh. The menu is simple but great options and sides. Overall a great little chicken spot. I would definitely bring the family back again.

It was okay. Definitely looked better than it tasted. Not sure if it was the flavor that we got but there was a lot of seasoning all over, too much in my opinion. They used the same seasoning on the fries as they did on the chicken and it was a little sweet. The Dave's sauce tasted like mayo and was not very appealing so we asked for some ranch and they did not have any at all. Maybe if we had ranch the chicken would have been better. We were just expecting more since it was our first time but I can say we will not be trying... read more

Chicken was actually really tasty! I got MILD to try and have to say - it wasn't even the slightest spicy for me. The chicken was moist and crunchy on the outside and the seasoning was quite well dusted on top. I really enjoyed that the chicken wasn't overly greasy too! By far the best part of the slider was the slaw! We went during a busy time so the space wasn't too tidy but Ellis was a lovely host/greeter!

This place has great food. The first time I tried it I wasn't impressed with the spice level but the Hot is definitely hot!
